Bislett move possible
Pedersen is now set to examine several alternative options to house the club until its proposed new 13,000 all-seater ground is ready in 2005. A move back to the world-famous Bislett athletics arena is possible as is using the Voldsløkka stadium in Oslo or the indoor Valhall, which is owned by the company that backs Vålerenga.
Hi-tech pitch
The Valhall has a hi-tech artificial pitch and can accommodate large crowds - nearly 10,000 have been housed there for indoor concerts by the pop group a-ha - however, the NFF have the power to veto any choice of stadium for top-division football.
